MICROPHONE DIRECTIONNEL DE STUDIO

MKH 416 P48 U, MKH 416 P48

Description abregee

Le M KH 416 P 48 U et sa variante MKH 416 P 48 sont des mierophones direetionnels de studio a taux de direetivite elevee, utilises en partieulier par les ehalnes de film et television et aussi pour des prises de son a I'exterieurLe. montageHF tres eprouvede Sennheisereleetroniea ete ehoisi pour les micros. Tous les mieros avee la designation P 48 sont prevus pour une alimentation a eireuit fantöme de 48 V selon DIN 45596. Comme le miero ne possede pas de transformateur, il est insensible aux ehamps magnetiques parasitaires.

Le MKH 416 P 48 est une eombinaison d'uncapteur a gradient de pres- sion et d'uneapteur d'interferenees. La direetivite est super-eardioide pour les basses et moyennes frequenees et prend laforme d'unlobe pour les hautes frequenees. Graee a ce principe, la sensibilite aux effets du vent et auxeffets «pop» est insignifiante. Le MKH 416 P 48 peut done etre utilise pour les solistes et les reportages, sans bon nette de proximite. Pour les prises de son a I'exterieur, nous conseilions eependant d'utiliser une bon nette anti-vent supplementaire.

La reponse en frequenee du mierophone est eonc;:uede fac;:ona presenter une legere aeeentuation pour les hautes frequenees. Comme I'effetde proximite est tres faible pour ce miero, I'imagesonore equilibree est eon- servee meme a une tres faible distanee voix-miero.

Montage haute frequence

Contrairement au montage basse fn'juenee,la eapsule d'unmiero eleetrostatique a haute frequenee presente une faible impedance. A la place de la tension de polarisation relativement elevee, la capsule n'est soumise qu'aune faible tension inferieure a 10 volts, fournie par un oscillateur (8 MHz) a faible bruit de fond. La faible impedance du systeme mene a une haute fiabilite des microphones, particulierement au cas des prises de son a I'exterieuraux eonditions climatiques extremes.

Alimentation et branchement

Tous les micros eleetrostatiques de Sennheiser electronic avec la designation MKH . . . P 48 ou P 48 U sont alimentes par circuit fantöme selon DIN 45596. Le eourant passe par les deux conducteurs de modula- tion, le courant de retour par le blindage.

Pour le branchement de ses microphones electrostatiques, Sennheiser utilise, comme pour les microphones dynamiques, le principe d'adap- tation en tension. Cela sig nifie q ue I'impedance d'entree de I'ampl ifieateu r est beaucoup plus elevee que celle du micro de teile sorte que celui-ci marehe presque a video De ce fait, ni les variations d'impedanee du microphone, ni celles de I'amplificateur n'ontd'influenee sensible sur la

,courbe de reponse. L'impedanee de source des microphones electro- statiques Sennheiser a alimentation fantöme est tres faible, environ 10 Q a 1000 Hz. La seule exigence posee a I'amplificateur est d'avoirune impedanee d'entree d'aumoins 200 Q.

Si toutefois, votre amplificateur presente une impedance inferieure, il faut ehoisir une resistance additionnelle convenant pourque le micro «voie» au moins 200 Q. La division de tension qui en resulte doit evidemment etre prise en consideration. La meme methode est employee si on a besoin d'une impedanee miero plus elevee. Dans ce cas aussi, une resistanee additionnelle mene a une adaptation eorrecte.

Les micros electrostatiques Sennheiser donnent des tensions de sortie relativement elevees, superieures a 1 V pour des pressions acoustiques maximales. L'avantageen est que, me me pour des cables longs, les tensions parasitaires n'ontaucune influence.
